New year´s resolutions

As a pharmacist many people tried to quit smoking every year. They usually come to my pharmacy during the first days of the year,  looking for a solution to quit smoking. Sometimes they can do it (when they follow my advice), but they almost always can not. They usually wasted their money in patchs, nicotine gums or pills. But the funniest thing is that they still smoking and continue chewing nicotine gums, can you belive it? It´s crazy!!they are taking double or triple nicotine dosis each day!!! Maybe the pharmaceuthical industry are behind, I don´t know, but it´s a little bit strange. What do you think about it?

Saint Fermin

In my country you can find many different holidays during the whole year. My favorite one is, the Saint Fermin holiday, it´s a religious holidays in honor of the patron of Navarra. But nowadays is becoming more and more popular for the wild and crazy party during the week. It strats the 7th of July seeting off  "the chupinazo" in the city hall, it´s a firework. The Saint Fermin holiday is famous around the world for "the encierro", it´s a race across the city. Where people runs with bulls, it´s wacky and crowded; however, every year many people get injured during the race, sometimes there are dead. It´s a big price for a race, isn´t it? I prefer to be in a bar wearing a custome clothes (white shirt, white trousers, red sash and red handkerchief), and watch the race on TV. The most tipical foods are bull stew and fried eggs with "txistorra", it´s kind of chorizo. If you are looking for a crazy and a fun week, come to Spain and enjoy Saint Fermin holiday!!!
